The Person
Leadership with intent.
De Image Magazine was built around a straightforward belief: journalism should help people understand the world rather than simply add to its noise.
As Founder and Publisher, Hon. Khalid Abdulrahaman Amodu provides the strategic leadership behind the publication while helping shape the organization it is becoming. His role extends beyond publishing stories. It encompasses building a newsroom culture where curiosity, accountability, accuracy and clarity are treated as essential rather than optional.
The objective is not to chase every conversation. It is to identify the conversations that deserve attention, give them appropriate context and present them in a way that respects the reader's intelligence.
De Image Magazine operates at the intersection of Nigerian, African and global perspectives, covering the developments, people, ideas and institutions shaping contemporary society. That perspective informs the publication's approach to news, business, technology, culture and public-interest journalism.
Leadership Principles
What should never change.
Technology, audiences and media formats will continue to evolve. The principles behind responsible journalism should remain much more durable.
02 · CLARITY
Context over noise.
Information becomes useful when people can understand what happened, why it matters and what comes next. De Image aims to make complex subjects easier to navigate.
03 · PURPOSE
Journalism with consequence.
Stories should do more than fill a feed. They should inform public conversation, document important developments and give readers the information needed to form their own judgment.
